In category theory, a category with a terminal object 1 is well-pointed if for every pair of arrows f , g : A B such that f g , there is an arrow p : 1 A such that f p g p . (The arrows p are called the global elements or points of the category; a well-pointed category is thus one that has "enough points" to distinguish non-equal arrows.)
